The rise of matte display smartphones
For more than a decade, smartphone displays have been moving in one direction: brighter, sharper, more saturated. OLED panels dominate today’s market from flagship iPhones and Samsung Galaxy S-series to increasingly aggressive midrange competitors like Google’s Pixel and OnePlus’ Nord series. But TCL’s new NXTPAPER 70 Pro proves that this is not the only tech able to deliver an amazing digital display.
At the center of TCL’s argument is its 6.9-inch NXTPAPER display, which replaces glossy, highly reflective glass with an anti-glare surface designed to reduce visual strain during long sessions of reading, scrolling, or video consumption.
Unlike other screens that prioritize punchy contrast and peak brightness the NXTPAPER approach deliberately reduces harmful blue light – creating a visual output that prioritizes clarity and also comfort. It still supports amazing color accuracy and unexpected brightness, with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, but with a more natural feel – closer to reading on paper than other screens of any size.
TCL also layers in AI-assisted features such as reading summarization, voice-driven assistance, and content simplification tools, which are designed to reduce cognitive load rather than expand raw capability. These features align with the broader philosophy of this amazing budget device: not doing more things faster, but making sustained use feel less exhausting.
Battery life is where TCL quietly strengthens its case. The 5200mAh cell, combined with the efficiency of the Dimensity 7300 and the lower strain of the NXTPAPER display, is tuned for endurance.
None of these specifications are trying to outclass flagship devices; instead, they are purpose-built for power-users,to sustain long usage sessions without mental or battery anxiety. TCL optimizes for long-session usability and reduced eye strain, even if it means stepping away from the conventional gloss of OLED.
